Matt Helm wrote:elvislady!!! Thank you ...this arrangement - with the voice of ELVIS of course- would have been a better choice as the "Let Me Be There" on the Classic Moody Blue Album (=i love his last Album, but NOT the "From Elvis Presley Blvd LP"). I have never seen this Donny Osmond Clip before, all that i knew, the Osmonds adore ELVIS' Stageoutfit..and the version is very fine sung from Donny. THANK YOU elvislady, as always yours, Matt

The Bill Belew jumpsuits supplied to Elvis cost thousands of dollars !
Imagine having to pay that out 5 or 6 times over !

The song has a strange history in the UK !
By the time the Sir Precipice Dick version entered the UK singles chart in 1964, I remember the song being already very familiar !
But his version was the first one to chart.
And yet, the Johnny Mathis version which preceded it, was tucked away on the flip of his Chances Are single [& that never charted here either].
So how come we knew it so well before 1964 ?
It's a mystery !

I don't know if it was a hit there, but it was certainly played on the radio a lot.
I came to England in mid 1963 and when Cliff's version was released in 1964, it was a familiar song to me.
Could it be that it was a radio hit in the UK?
